It has three concrete goals according to Jef- frey Crowley, director of the Office of National AIDS Policy (ONAP), who led the team that pre- pared it. First, it aims to reduce new infections by 25% over five years by intensifying prevention ef- forts in communities where the epidemic is most heavily concentrated; expand targeted preven- tion efforts “using a combination of effective evidence-based approaches;” and educate all Americans about the threat of HIV and how to prevent it. Second is to increase access to care and opti- mizing health outcomes. Much of that will rely upon elements within broad healthcare reform Point legislation passed earlier this year. Third is to reduce HIV-related health dispari- Foundation page 8 ties. Key elements will be increased reliance upon community and structural rather than Wholly individual interventions, and efforts to reduce stigma so that people are more likely to seek testing and treatment. Crowley’s office will make annual reports on Jolie page 17 progress toward meeting those goals. “All of us are being asked to do more with less,” said Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of Health A-list celebrity/gay fave Angelina Jolie talks about filming her upcoming spy thriller, and Human Services. “We can’t expect this [HIV] Salt.

Dell Katherine “Kit” Duffy Adrienne J. Goodman Marie J. Kuda Mary D. Powers 2 3 4 CHICAGO LGBT HALL OF FAME The Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame (formerly the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame) is both a historic event and an exhibit. Through the Hall of Fame, residents of Chicago and the world are made aware of the contributions of Chicago’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities and the communities’ efforts to eradicate bias and discrimination. With the support of the City of Chicago Commission on Human Relations, its Advisory Council on Gay and Lesbian Issues (later the Advisory Council on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Issues) established the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame (changed to the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame in 2015) in June 1991. The inaugural induction ceremony took place during Pride Week at City Hall, hosted by Mayor Richard M. Daley. This was the first event of its kind in the country. Today, after the advisory council’s abolition and in partnership with the City, the Hall of Fame is in the custody of Friends of the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame, an Illinois not- for-profit corporation with a recognized charitable tax-deductible status under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3).

Yet this definition underestimates the rhetorical potency of spectacle, as a context in which athletes may participate in projects of social transformation and institutional reform. Sport Spectacle, Athletic Activism, and the Rhetorical Analysis of Mediated Sport engages a set of case studies that assess the rhetorical conditions that empower or sideline athletes in projects of social change.
